Things can be done in the boring mundane way, or you can be like this guy. In other happy news, I just wrote The End on my fifth novel! Time to start on the next one. LOL

I have noticed a new trend that I’m not sure I like, the ‘hero’ of the story being a man whore.

*I have stolen this phrase from my good friend Kim. She’s writing a book which I’m hoping won’t smack me around too much. I have several books that I am afraid to open. I’m not afraid of bad writing. I’m not worried that I will get sucked into a new world and not get anything […]
